Digital Distribution - Maximizing Reach and Revenues
2020 has forever changed the entertainment industry: shut-down theatres, stopped productions, cancelled release dates as well as film festivals and markets going on-line only. With theatres almost empty and VoD subscriptions soaring, film production and distribution companies must learn to adapt fast to navigate this new landscape and sustain their businesses. Here is where the crucial importance of alternative distribution models becomes more evident than ever.
DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION will help European producers navigate these troubles waters. The workshop provides an up-to-date overview of the marketplace, including today’s key players as well as hands-on tips and tools to monetize content and reach wider audiences. International industry experts, current examples and case studies of new deals being made as well as new ways of building a successful distribution strategy help participants take the next step. Various networking opportunities allow to connect with the experts as well as fellow European colleagues and build long-lasting business relationships.

Workshop Venue and Accommodation
Den Danske Filmskole - The National Film School of Denmark
For this year's edition of Digital Distribution, we have partnered up with The National Film School of Denmark and will hold the seminar program of the workshop on their campus!
The Film School is a historically important focal point for the development of Danish film, both creatively and in relation to the professionalisation of the industry.
The National Film School of Denmark was founded in 1966 and is Denmark's only state higher education within film and television production. We offer eight bachelor’s programmes for the most dedicated film talents. The school offers courses, masterclasses, and other industry events via our continuing education for professionals who already work in the film, TV, and games industries. And we conduct artistic research that creates new knowledge and contributes to the development of new methods and pedagogical practices, which are an important foundation for the further development of our programmes.
The film school is also the centre for public cultural events. During the year, we host film screenings, artist meetings, and debates that put artistic, film-political, and societal agendas into play.
Since 1998, the Film School has been located on Holmen in Copenhagen, close to the water, side by side with the other artistic educational institutions, which include the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation, the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, and the Danish National School of Performing Arts.
